I'm going to run a Chevy 305 and a Turbo 350 trans in my 1981 datsun 720. I see how you have cut the fire wall and transfer tunnel I have a 3 inche body lift on my truck do you think I would still have to cut the fire wall and tran tunnel??????????

body lift won't help with the lack of engine compartment space, you'll get away with out cutting the floor depending on how you can setup your shifter location but if you want to fit a radiator in the engine bay without other expensive mods (electric water pump, full relocaton of accessories with 1 belt crank pulley and a motor balanced and blueprinted as to not need a harmonic balancer...) you'll have to mod the firewall or mod your grille.

If you aré goin w/ a/t u might get away with not cutting the floor and firewall. Might... As for the exhaust, I used block burgers and had to do some seriously wildness n tweeks. I'm sure there r still picks of the build. Take a look!
